I think what is needed here...

Has this anything to do with cli :censored: ? ;)

It's a difficult one to judge. I might have an excellent turn around of the PBEM files but home life could change (lose job, illness etc) which could keep me away from the computer. So would my rating drop then?
I think most players have a small group of regular opponents so any rating system for them would be pointless. Then again, if your playing ladder opponents then you want to know he will stick with the battle. On the other hand, the Blitz has a system already in place to deal with vanishing opponents :)

I've rambled on enough for one message! :rolleyes:
